Blue Reflect

The problem with Artificial Light

Most of us are now continuously connected to our digital technologies. This can cause headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision and eyestrain. The high-energy visible (HEV) artificial blue light emitted by digital device and fluorescent lighting is known today to have a negative impact on the retinal cells. Artificial light can also decrease contrast that can lead to eyestrain.

Nearly 70% of American adults experience some form of digital eye strain due to prolonged use of electronic devices

How they work

BlueReflect™ Lenses use a special coating to reflect a portion of the blue light emitted by digital devices and artificial light. This coating also incorporates scratch resistant and anti-glare benefits, giving you clearer vision while using digital devices.

A blue sheen and a minimal yellow hue on the lens are the proof of the lenses actively filtering part of the blue light.

Although these specialized lenses are similar to clear lenses, and can be worn indoors and outside, they have an additional benefit for activities related to digital screen usage.

Protection for all ages

BlueReflect™ Lenses are available for adults and children, whether you need a prescription or not, on your perfect pair of glasses. It is not only adults who are affected. The Vision Council reports that 1 in 4 kids spend more than three hours a day using digital devices. In addition to ensuring children are getting regular eye examinations and taking breaks from digital technologies, BlueReflect™ Lenses offer additional protection to young eyes while devices are in use.

1. My glasses are too thick and heavy...

Select Ultra Thin Air Single Vision or Progressive Lenses that are up to 45% thinner and lighter than standard lenses.

2. My eyes strain easily using the computer or watching TV...

Select an Anti-Reflective coating that will reduce eyestrain, or for extended use of digital devices consider BlueReflect™ Digital Protection lenses.

3. I spend extended periods each day using digital devices…

The first thing to do is take regular breaks from the screen by following the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. You can also select our BlueReflect™ Lens that has anti-reflective coating, and a specific filter, which decrease the level of high-energy visible (HEV) artificial blue light to give you added comfort and protection.

4. My lenses don't stay clear for very long...

A Scratch Resistant Coating will guard your corrective lenses against scratching, and will extend the life of your lenses by making them more durable.

7. It's a hassle having to carry around both eyeglasses and sunglasses...

Transitions ® Lenses quickly adapt between indoor and outdoor settings, while still protecting your eyes from damaging UV light. Please note that as car windshields have UV protection, Transitions® lenses will not adapt in a vehicle.

8. My child needs super durable glasses to keep up with them...

Select our polycarbonate Durable Air Lenses that are 12 times more impact-resistant, and up to 22% thinner, than standard plastic lenses. We also suggest Scratch Resistant, UV Protective and Anti-Reflective coatings. While these lenses and coatings increase durability, please note that no lenses are completely shatterproof.

9. I play sports and my glasses take a bit of a beating...

Select our Single Vision Durable Air Lenses and a Scratch Resistant Coating for additional durability. These polycarbonate lenses are lightweight, impact resistant, and up to 22% thinner than standard lenses. While no lenses are completely shatterproof, sport safety glasses may be a better solution if you participate in high-impact sports.

Upgrade your lenses to Progressive Lenses to ensure you have clear vision while reading a book (near vision), using a computer (intermediate vision) and driving (distance vision). We also have sunglasses and Transitions ® lenses for Progressive prescriptions.
